Venus will
remain retrograde until November 16, when it turns direct at 25 degrees of
Libra.

Venus has
been retrograde in Scorpio Since October 5, and it re-enters Libra October 31,
at 3: 42 PM, EST.

Venus is
Scorpio is considered at its detriment, which means it is weak. I have found
planets at their detriment misbehave, or cause us to act in ways we might do differently
at another time. They can however serve a purpose. Venus (retrograde) in
Scorpio can be secretive, jealous and even revengeful as it is ruled by Mars
and Pluto. During this time we have heard a great deal about the #MeToo
movement and Bill Cosby was sentenced to prison for sexual abuse.

Venus in
Libra is considered at home, and Libra is ruled by Venus. Venus here is lighter
and more prone to compromise and a desire for peace and harmony. Libra rules
the 7th house of marriage and commitments.

Retrograde Venus
is not the time to get married or make a major commitment. If you start a new
relationship, things could change or end when Venus turns direct. Retrograde
Venus is associated with people from the past. Some relationships end on a
Venus retrograde and retrograde planets in general reveal previously unknown
information.

Venus
remains in Libra until December 2. December 3, it re-enters Scorpio where it
will remain until early next year.

Venus is
opposing Uranus and this transit becomes exact October 30/31.

Venus is
retrograde in Scorpio and this can relate to money, love andit can even have a touch of revenge in some
cases.

People from
the past can suddenly resurface and issues with love and money can take sudden
twists and turns.

Some
relationships can end at this time if they are unstable anyway.

The other
side of this transit is a few days where you do something totally unexpected or
unpredictable, and it can work out well.

Astrologers
call Uranus unpredictable for a reason, and this transit can go either way.

We will see
this transit play out in the collective as well, with more unexpected events
and Uranus in mundane astrology is an explosive force, hence the situation we
have recently seen with pipe bombs being mailed to two former Presidents and others.

Money could
be interrupted again, and we could see large swings in the financial markets.

November is
a pivotal month as Jupiter enters Sagittarius, Uranus retrogrades back into
Aries one final time, not to return for 80 plus years, Venus turns direct, and
Mercury retrogrades.

Uranus
re-enters Aries for the next four months on November 6, mid-term election day
in the US. Every time Uranus changes signs we can expect some sort of shake up,
often unexpected. The 29th degree of Uranus or any other planet is called the
anaretic degree, and it is considered a critical degree and is often crisis-oriented.

Since May 16, Uranus
has been in Taurus and we have seen a number of changes in the world and in our lives.
Uranus in Aries is ruled by Mars (action, aggression, assertion) and we have
seen many geo-political changes over the last 7 years. Aries rules the first
house of self, and self interests and many people around the globe have
promoted their own self-interests in the past 7 years.

While Uranus
spends its last 4 months in Aries we will likely see many crisis situations
emerge around the globe and have the feeling that we only have so much time to
accomplish something.

Uranus will square
the North Node at 29 degrees of Cancer, and (retrograde) Venus in Libra
creating a t-square or a clash. This symbolizes the past and past actions
coming to a head in the present moment, collectively.As Uranus is in Aries (self interests) this
is in conflict with the N. Node in Cancer (homeland) and Venus in Libra (women,
money and values), and these are the deep issues we will be dealing with during
this last transit of Uranus. With the North Node in Cancer (ruled by the moon)
women, in particular will make their voices heard at this time, along with
their values.

Uranus turns
direct January 6, and this will be another pivotal point in its last transit
through Aries and look for significant events at this time, especially as it coincides
with a powerful solar eclipse in Capricorn. Uranus will remain in Aries until
March 6, 2019, when it will re-enter Taurus for the next seven years. During
these years our lives and the world will change dramatically, and we willbe focused more on the outside world, money
and finance and the Earth itself, as we will see more Earth changes and
potential disasters.

As we begin
the month Venus
retrogrades back into the sign Libra, where it is considered at home and
very powerful. Over the past eight weeks Venus has been in Scorpio, where it is
considered to be at its detriment, making Venus related issues more difficult.
Venus rules love, finance and values.

In Scorpio,
Venus was secretive and at times even vengeful as Scorpio is ruled by Mars and
Pluto.

Venus
related issues will become lighter, and Libra relates to fairness and likes
harmony.

But, the
planet of love, beauty and values is still retrograde until November 16.

This is not
the time to marry, get engaged, buy expensive items or have plastic surgery. If
you begin a new relationship on a Venus retrograde its future is questionable
and they say the love energy is never fully expressed.

As Uranus
retrogrades back into Aries November 6, it forms an opposition with Venus.
Venus opposed Uranus October 23-31 and we saw a large drop in the stock
markets. This could happen again, along with other unexpected events. Some
relationships could end.

Venus turns direct November 16, at 25
degrees of Libra in
the early morning hours. If this aspects something in a positive way in your
personal chart, you could see good results. You could meet someone new, or
something else of a positive nature could happen. Venus stationing direct in a harmonious
transit to any planet would being positive results.

Venus will
remain in its shadow period until December 17. On December third it will make
another pass through Scorpio that will last until the first week of January,
2019.

Jupiter leaves the sign of Scorpio
for the next 12 years
and enters Sagittarius on November 8 at 7:38 AM, EST. It will remain here until
December 2, 2019.

Jupiter
in Scorpio has had an enormous effect in our lives collectively and
individually. Jupiter here has been a benefit to all water signs and has played
a major role in the collective world.

Wherever Jupiter goes we see luck and gain.

Jupiter in Scorpio is ruled by Mars and Pluto, giving it an eighth house
connotation. The eighth house rules sex, drugs, other people's money and change
and transformation.

While in Jupiter the focus has been on the ongoing opioid crisis in America and we have seen
a resurgence of the #MeToo movement, and
issues relating to sexual violence and
inappropriateness.

Also, as the US is a Cancer nation, Jupiter in Scorpio
has helped the economy. This won't be the case with Jupiter in Sagittarius.

Jupiter in
Sagittarius is a Fire sign
and all fire and some air signs will be helped with its placement here.
Sagittarius rules the 9th house of world view, education, travel and foreign
relations. Sagittarius is the luckiest of signs.

Jupiter effects in this sign will be to expand our
consciousness, knowledge and understanding. Growth, generosity and abundance,
and fairness are the trademarks of Jupiter in Sagittarius.

It will urge us to expand our higher minds, cultural and
spiritual awareness and broaden our minds. At the same time we must not slip
into an arrogant know-it-all attitude as this can be the downside of expansive Sagittarius

During its transit through Sagittarius, Jupiter will square Neptune three
times. This will occur January 13-16, June 15-22, and September 15-21. While
these are the periods Jupiter and Neptune will exact within 1 degree, they
periods actually last much longer as Jupiter has an orb of 10 degrees.

When this occurs occur we can expect to see scandals,
lies, untruths and will have to discern what is real and what is an illusion,
both in our personal lives and our collective lives. This is also a transit
relating to theft, and it can be theft of property, internet hacking, personal theft,
or theft of the heart.

I liken this to the Saturn/Neptune
square that occurred in 2016. We have since learned Russia made a concerted
effort through social media to influence the US election. We also saw 8 major
cyber attacks.

While the negative side of this will be manifested, the
positive side will be creativity, psychic awareness and sudden understandings
of the universe.

However, Neptune is a double edged sword and what may
seem real, may only be an illusion and it may be hard to discern. Dreams will
be vivid among many people.

Religion will come into play, real, or made up. We could
see scandals related to religion, the Vatican and other entities.

The key will be to stay grounded at these times, and
perhaps take the attitude, 'if it seems too good to be real, it probably isn't
real.'

Sagittarius is known to be overzealous. It can expand the
more negative qualities of the sign as well as the positive just as Saturn in
Sagittarius did when it squared Neptune in 2016. Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter
is connected to the law, politics, religion, creating wealth, and foreign
interests.Many people will have
opinions on the world and politics, just as they did in 2015/ 2016 when Saturn
was in Sagittarius.

Jupiter in this sign should work especially well for Sagittarians,
who will reap significant benefit of Jupiter's placement here. Jupiter transits
our personal signs once every 12 years.

As Venus turns direct November 16, Mercury turns retrograde the same day. It will remain retrograde until
December 6.

Mercury will be stationary retrograde at 13 degrees of
Sagittarius November 17-19. This is the point Mercurial energy changes, and
delays, glitches and other unexpected situations occur.

Mercury has retrograded this year in fire signs, and this
is the final retrograde of the year.

Now is not the time to marry, get engaged, start new
projects, jobs, or buy high ticket items. Do so, and you will find that when
Mercury turns direct some type of change occurs or you are not satisfied with
what you started.

If you have to start a job on a retrograde Mercury, do
so, but understand something will change or most likely it will not be your
last job.

The bigger picture with this retrograde is Mercury's square
to Neptune from November 15-19, at 13 degrees of Sagittarius/Pisces.

Mercury-Neptune transits relate to lies, lack of clarity,
untruths and an inability to see the big picture clearly. Be careful what you
put in writing and check your email before you hit send. It may be hard for
some to think clearly, and some previously unknown situations may be revealed
at this time.

Other significant transits in November include:

November 7, the New Moon falls at 15 degrees of Scorpio. Scorpio
rules the eighth house of taxes, debt, change, and other people's money. It creates
a beautiful trine to Neptune and for some this may be a very idealistic time.

November 15, Mars enters Pisces. Pisces is a water sign that will
work well with other water signs. It rules the 12th house of the zodiac, the
subconscious mind and many things will be wrapping up between now and the end
of the year. Mars here rules our action, and is not so aggressive in this sign.
Planets in Pisces tend to flow rather than anything else. People will seem less
aggressive and we may see new creative ventures, and things relating to psychic
awareness. Action can seem more confused than direct.

November 19, Mars squares Jupiter and many things may be blown out
of proportion. We could hear news of politics, law, or foreign connections.
This is not inherently unlucky, and some people may gain luck on this day. But, be cautious in what you promise others or
what is promised to you.

November 22, the Sun enters Sagittarius and this is the mutable sign
of fall when the weather begins to change toward winter. This creates a
stellium of three planets in Sagittarius and we are officially in the Sagittarius
season.

November 23, the full moon falls at 0 degrees of Gemini. Gemini rules the third house of communication,
ideas and immediate family members. It is associated with Mercury the planet of
communication, travel and young people.

This moon forms a t-square or a clash with Jupiter and Mars.
Moon square Mars is angry, volatile and prone to disharmony or even violence.
things can get blown out of proportion quickly. I would not be surprised if we
don't see violence in the collective. This is a full moon to be respected and
tread carefully.

November 24, Neptune turns stationary direct. Neptune is the planet of mystics, religion,
creativity and art, spirituality, and inspiration. It is also the
planet associated with illusion, confusion and delusion, addictions, lies and
deception, self-deception, and the seamy side of life just to name a few things
this powerful planet rules.

As this powerful planet goes direct confusion may
increase for the time, and events will start to be revealed if it is aspecting
other planets in your chart. Neptunian events have a tendency to appear as
surprising, but in actuality the basis of Neptune related events was generally
there all along, just hidden in a fog of confusion, lies or lack of
clarity. Such events tend to creep up on you and seem surprising at
first, but the basis of the event was generally there, just obscured from
recognition.

Surprises/events may occur for some individuals
with Neptune in hard aspect in their natal charts. If Neptune is
good aspect to your personal planets it can come as a pleasant
experience.

As with all retrograding planets, as Neptune
turns around it will lead to confusion and misdirection as we get used to its
new direction.

November 30, Venus opposes Uranus again for the third time in
several months. Love may take a sudden or unexpected turn, unexpected events
may occur and as with past Venus/Uranus oppositions we could see a change or
drop in financial markets.

Uranus
(retrograde) re-enters Aries for the last time November 6, 2018-March 6, 2019.
During this time it will remain at 29/29 degrees. It turns direct January 6,
2019 at 28 degrees, then re-enters Taurus for the next 7 years March 6, 2019.

While retrograde Uranian energies are more bottled
up, and the individual becomes aware of the need for change When
Uranus turns direct those energies can be acted upon, seemingly in an
unexpected manner. Events involving Uranus are often the inevitable result of a
situation, and wake us up to what is really occurring in our lives, bringing
sudden and sometimes shocking change.

This will be
the last time the majority reading this will experience Uranus in the sign
ruled by Mars as it takes approximately 84 years to circle the zodiac. Uranus
affects us personally in a big way, if it aspects our personal astrology charts,
and always changes things globally.

Uranus in
Aries has been quite a ride. It entered this sign for a few months in 2010.
Then March 11, 2011 as Uranus entered Aries againhitting the 0 degree or the world point, Japan
was struck by an earthquake and tsunami, that threatened to destabilize nuclear
reactors.

Spring/Summer 2010 saw a meltdown in the economy of
numerous European countries and the BP oil spill was an event that garnered
international attention. We saw travel problems with a huge volcanic
ash cloud over Europe, China had an oil spill and we heard news of significant developments
in medicine such as AIDs drugs that lower the chance of HIV infection.

Other major
world events that have occurred include
a devastating earthquake in Haiti, Arab Spring, scientists trapped anti-matter,
speech to speech translation became common in phones, the death of Osama bin
Laden, the Diamond jubilee of Queen Elizabeth 11, the Mayan calendar reached
its end, the first creation of human embryonic stem cells by cloning, gene
therapy, Cannabis legalized in some countries along with gay marriage in US,
genome sequencing, the #MeToo movement, Brexit, mass migrations from war zones,
mass hackings, internet theft, and the US became more divided politically since
the Civil war. Massive flood, fire and hurricane damage, Crimean annexation by
Russia, US Presidential accusations of collusion with Russia, and these
represent only a few of the changes that have occurred.

Aries rules
the first house-the self, and during these years we have seen ourselves and
many groups of people fighting for their own self interests around the world.

Uranus in
Aries has been about us, and what we want as individuals and groups of
individuals. Uranus in Taurus is ruled by Venus, one of the financial planets that
rules the second house of money, and it also concerns values.

Global
finances will be affected, along with earth changes and impending climate
change. Mars is considered at its fall, or debilitated in Taurus. In other
words, it does not operate smoothly and is not very happy here. Unlike Uranus
in Aries, while in Taurus change will be resisted.

When Uranus reaches the 29th degree of
Aries it is considered the Anaretic
degree.

The 29th degree is obviously
the last degree before Uranus enters Taurus. There can be a feeling of urgency,
such as we only have so much time left to accomplish or must have something.
It's like the final shopping days before Christmas.

As Uranus bounced between
Taurus-Aries in 2018, and Aries to Taurus early 2019, it represents a difficult
shift between a focus on the self, versus the external environment.

In a way we are in between
two worlds at this time-the end of the era of self, self interests or self empowerment,
and on the precipice of a new world where will not be able to ignore the
outside environment we must live with and the Earth itself.

This shift from Aries to
Taurus last occurred in April of 1935. At that time we were in the Great
recession and on the eve of an oncoming World War, where we saw rationing of
material goods. The dust bowl in the Western States created severe Earth
related challenges.

A planet at the 29th degree
is prone to crisis and reversal, predetermined events and breaking molds.

When Uranus was in its last
two degrees of Pisces, about to shift into Aries, we saw the BP Deepwater
Horizon Oil Spill April 20, 2010. This was considered the largest marine oil
spill of modern history, and Pisces rules oceans and salt water.

As Uranus completes its last
four month journey in this sign we can expect to see important Mars related
situations in our own lives and the world. Mars rules action, war, men, and
aggressive tendencies.

We may feel an urgency to
complete things began as Uranus entered this sign again, and feel as though
we have only so much time left to do it. This will occur both on the individual
level and the collective.

If you are a 28-29 degree
Aries, Libra, Cancer or Capricorn this will have a powerful affect on your
life. Many things are likely to change or end suddenly during this time, and
you could feel you are at some sort of crisis or significant turning point.

Major political and
geo-political changes will occur as Uranus is a transcendental planet that
affects global change and human evolution.

Over the next several years
Saturn and Pluto will be in Capricorn, another Earth sign, and we will
experience a great shift from Fire to Earth energies or a desire for grounding.

Expect to feel as though you
must complete something as Uranus moves through its last four months of Aries,
and we will see worldwide changes again.

Asserting the self and
individual rights has been the domain of Uranus in Aries. What can be lacking
in the desire to assert the rights of the individual, is the illusion we are
not dependent on the eternal world for self survival.

Jupiter is
now traveling through its last three degrees of Scorpio, and moves into the
sign of Sagittarius November 8.

Wherever
Jupiter goes we see luck and gain.

Jupiter in
Scorpio is ruled by Mars and Pluto, giving it an eighth house connotation. The
eighth house rules sex, drugs, other people's money and change and
transformation.

While in
Jupiter the focus has been on the ongoing opioid crisis in America and we have seen a resurgence
of the #MeToo
movement, and issues relating to sexual
violence and inappropriateness.

Jupiter in Sagittarius will be far different from Scorpio,
and rules the ninth house of world view, education and travel. It's planetary
ruler is Jupiter, and it will be at home in this sign.

We now have
a stellium in Scorpio that includes the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter. As
Scorpio is ruled by Mars and Pluto, this is enormously volatile energy in the
sky. Mars rules aggression and anger, men, police matters, action and war.
Pluto rules bullies, corruption, raw power and extreme change.

Jupiter in
Scorpio has worked well for the water signs (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces), as
well as Virgo and Capricorn.

Jupiter in
Sagittarius will bring positive benefit to the fire signs or those with planets
in fire or air.

Enjoy the
last days of Jupiter in Scorpio as it will not return to this sign until
September 2029.

Monday, October 22, 2018

The Moon has
entered Aries by the time you read this post, and October 22, is the last day
the Sun is in the sign of Libra for another year.

By tomorrow,
October 23, the Moon squares Pluto and tension will begin to mount as we head
into the explosive full moon this week.

October 23, the Sun enters Scorpio and begins itsopposition to Uranus which will shake things
up over the next few days.

Sun (and
Venus) oppositions to Uranus have to do with sudden and unexpected events, especially
involving love
and money.

The full
Moon of October 24, falls at 1 degree of Taurus and this holds the potential to
bring about unexpected situations especially involving love and money. Many
people will want to break free of circumstances in their lives, and
relationships on the edge may well end during this period. It won't be a dull
full moon, especially for those with fixed planets-Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and
Aquarius at 0-3 degrees in their personal charts.

Wednesday, October 17, 2018

The full
moon in Taurus falls on October 24, at one degree of the sign. It conjuncts
Uranus and this will be a heck of a Moon.

Uranus
transits are known to upset the status quo: in other words, while Taurus is
generally associated with stability, this Moon will be anything but, (I hate to
say).

If you like
constant change, upheaval and not knowing what comes next, this moon is for
you. If you are looking to make a sudden break from something, now is your
time.

The day
before, October 23, The Sun enters Scorpio and opposes Uranus and this will be
the start of this energy.

The Moon
opposes Venus (at its detriment in Scorpio and retrograde) as well. We can
expect sudden changes in some relationships between this moon and October 31,
as Venus will oppose Uranus exact October 30-31.

Restlessness,
changeability, and nervous energy is to
be expected.

The
unexpected can happen on a moon like this, and it can come from the most
unlikely quarter. Sometimes the unexpected can be good, but I look for it to be
disruptive, including on an emotional level for many.

The bigger picture is the second and
eighth houses, which
is where this Moon falls. Taurus rules the second house of money and possessions
and Scorpio rules the eighth house of other people's money.

This means
we could see financial disruption in our lives, or on a bigger scale on the
world stage. We could see fortunes lost, or fortunes made at this time.

Monday, October 15, 2018

Mercury squares Mars and Saturn over the next few days and we can
expect irritation and the potential of arguments of all types, including
written communication. We may have to work harder to maintain harmony in communication,
travel, thinking and interaction with others.

The square
from Mars to Mercury is exact in mid-day October 19, but the closer we get, the
more the energy builds.

When the
planet of communication clashes with Mars we can expect frustration, back
biting, sarcastic speech, difficulties in communication, irritation over work
problems, transportation and travel problems, issues with children or young
people, verbal attacks, and in some cases issues with relatives, neighbors and
immediate family members. Diplomacy is needed.

In some instances infectious
diseases could be spread such as colds and flus.At its best there could be a great burst of
mental energy on the positive side.

Mercury
rules travel, communication of all types, children and young people. This is
not a good day to present important ideas. As always we will see this energy
play out in the world with a great many angry people and the potential of
accidents or volatility.

Wednesday, October 10, 2018

The Moon and Mercury have entered
Scorpio, and Venus
is stationary retrograde in Scorpio at 10 degrees as well. This will create a
clash today between Mars/Venus
and the Moon.

This will make many people feel uncomfortable at some point. It
could be issues with money, relationships, or some other situation, depending
on where this hits your personal chart.

Today is a
good day to remain calm, rather than acting on this potentially volatile
energy. To avoid conflict, I would advise giving space to those who seem to be
on the verge of agitation, and today is not the day to push ultimatums.

In addition,
the Moon and Mercury are opposing Uranus in Taurus. This can bring sudden and
unexpected news and events, and cautions should be used in travel. We will see
some adverse weather conditions play out in the world as well.

While the Mars-Venus
energy will not end overnight, as the Moon moves past Mars tomorrow, things
should be calmer.

Monday, October 8, 2018

Today's new
moon in Libra is typically a pleasant moon, but I say typically, because it
will square Pluto, before it is over and this can bring up some deep seated
issues. Pluto rules the dark and hidden undercurrent.

This week
may not be the calmest as Mars is still in a square, or clash with retrograde
Venus. Issues relating to relationships and/or money can come up at this time,
and we will see some type of scandal in the world, if not more.

This square
will not peak until late Wednesday, and this does not mean the energy is completely
gone.

On the same
day, Mercury opposes Uranus and this can create nervous, tense energy and bring
unexpected events. In the collective this could represent another extreme
weather related situation.

By Friday,
the Sun squares Pluto at 18 degrees of Libra/Capricorn and this is a difficult
transit, that can bring hidden issues to the surface, things into the open, and
power struggles. Libra does not do well with this sort of thing. This transit will
play out in the world as well, as situations being revealed and potential abuses
of power.

Those with
Cardinal planets (Cancer, Libra, Aries and Capricorn) at 17-19 degrees will be
affected to a greater degree.
